“There’s no way”? Well, obviously, there is always a way do it
differently… But nested refs can be useful especially with grouped
references [1], when a footnote can refer to a source (or, more
generally, refs from one group can refer to another group).

Note that there is a workaround for this problem, explained at the
enwp help page. [2]
